Summer is the time when bikers break out their motorcycles. There’s something amazing about riding a motorcycle; a sense of freedom and rebellion that is hard to get from merely driving a car. Motorcycles are also very fuel-efficient and can save you a lot of money on gas.

The problem is, it can get extremely hot during the summer. The clothes that motorcycle riders need to wear to adequately protect themselves can be very stifling; leather isn’t a very breathable material.

More than 100,000 speeding tickets are issued daily. That comes to more than 36,500,000 traffic tickets yearly.

One in every 6 drivers will get a speeding ticket this year.

The average speeding ticket costs $150.00.

$150 x 36,500,000= $5,475,000,000! Thats almost 5.5 BILLION per year in speeding ticket fines.

Auto insurance for just one speeding ticket can cost you around $900 on average over 3 years.

Multiply 900 by 36,500,000 and you get $3,285,000,000 (3.28 BILLION dollars) in extra insurance money the insurance industry makes in a single year just from speeding tickets.
